Chereads / A Queen's Destiny / Chapter 8 - Hunted

Chapter 8 - Hunted

I really was surprised to see such a beathtub but soaking in the water was quite nice too. For the first time in my life, I really felt relaxed and the moment the water actually touched my wound, it started to sting for a bit but that was all.

Jack was here the entire time and started to actually scrub down the dirt from my fur. It felt nice and for some reason it didn't really bother me. Instead it really felt soo aluring. The water had a perfect temperature and everything too.

Before I knew it, I fell asleep in there.

*flashback brought to you by an alpha smiling and petting his omega soulmate *

I was running away from something. It was dark and I was in a forest. This wasn't any forest I knew about. No. That was a lie. I knew this forest too well. This was no other than the forest I grew up in.

'What am I doing here?'

'Why am I even here?'

This was the forest I was chased though once I actually got out of my hiding place. It wasn't much and I still remembered it. This felt also way to real. I could smell the blood around me as well as feel the wind too. If I didn't know it any better and if I wouldn't be in my grown up wolf form, I would have said that this was exactly like the all the years back the day when my parents got murdered.

'No!'

'Are they still around here?'

'I can't face them!'

'I don't want too'

Blood was all around me. That day was one of the day that the whole forest was actually closed of because they found a pack of wolfs as well as human remains. The ground was soacked in red and not a lot of animals were around. Still I was running through these woods.

Then again, I wasn't running away from my past or what I left behind. I could still remember and I could hear it. There was something behind me. Something was chasing me. It was big from what I could hear but I didn't know what it was. Back then I was too scared to look behind me. However I was older and I didn't had to run anymore.

I could fight!

NO!

I would fight and if that was actually the last thing I would do.

'Come on!'

'Face me!'

Just like that I stopped and turned around facing the thing that was chasing me. Birds were flying in my direction and I could see them try to get away from something. All these years I was never sure if something was actually chasing me or if this was all my imagination. Fact is, everyone was dead around me. I saw soo many dead wolfs on my way that I knew I was the lone surviver.

'Let me show you what I can do!'

'I am a Queen!'

'I will fight!'

'I will survive!'

*End of flaschback brought to you by a growling omega*

Right before the could actually come out of the bushes and get closer to me, I woke up snapping at something. There was nothing there and so I just snapped at the sheer thin air.

Jack: Wow! Did I hurt you?

For a sheer second I was confused as what was going on because I was still laying in that tube and he was petting me and sitting right beside me on the edge of it.

'Yeah.... but none of your business!'

'Why should I even tell you?'

'huh....'

I was really expecting him to ask more but not to actually get up and walk a bit away from me to a tray which was standing there. It was only now that he started stripping. That was something which came quite out of the blue and I turned away from him. Not as if I couldn't stand th thought of seeing him naked. The problem was something else. Even when he has a just a shirt on, I could tell that his body was well build and his muscles were quite dominant and visible. There was really no need to question more and I would feel like drolling all over the place.

Jack: Wuff?

'What? You want to tell me that everything is fine?'

'Yeah sure...'

'As if that is ever right...'

'I am on the run!'

'I am being chased!'

'I am a refuge and someone who should have died!'

Me: ruff.....

While I answered back the question if I was alright, he came over jumping into the bathtube and then nudging me. It was really a nice and sweet guesture. How long I've actually longed for this but up until now, there was really no one who would be on my side. Even though I hated the idea of having a mate, it still felt nice. It was natural after all.

'I can't accept him!'

'No! Are you out of your mind!'

'What if they get targeted?'

'What if I get them in danger?!'

'He is the current King after all!'

'My goal is revenge too!'

'No.'

'They don't deserve someone like me at all.'

'I should get out of he-'

Jack: Arrooo!

'Maybe just for today....'

'Yeah... just for today!'

'I will let him spoil me just for a day!'

This alpha wolf was dangerous. I really wasn't expecting him to actually shift and come to my side to nudge me as well as take care of me. He was even licking my snoot. It surprised me but I could tell that he was doing this to get my attention. That only made me think if I looked that sad so I let him at first.

Key word: At first.

The moment he stopped for a moment, I stood up from my lying position which was on the side of the bathtube. Again this was more a small pool than a bathtube where the side wasn't as deep then where he was standing right now.

Once I stood up, I decided to actually get into the deeper part of the water and jumped inside. At first water splattered a bit around but then I went to his side and actually licked his snoot the way he did for me and nuzzled my head against him. He was really nice and this bath was definitelly relaxing.

So we stayed in there for a while soaking our wolf bodies inside until I had enough. Getting in wasn't really a problem but getting out was because the wound started to hurt a bit again. This was how I limped out a bit but he was by my side and ready to catch me when I would fall down and that was quite literally the case because he shifted back right in the bathtube letting me be righ on top of him where he just went ahead and hugged me.

I would never forget this.

He was kind and cary even a bit daring but I couldn't blame him sinde he found his mate.
